Prince William: I'm not sure if 'rascal' Prince George is more like me or my brother

The Duke of Cambridge has described his new son as a "little bit of a
rascal" in the first interview since his birth, saying he isn't sure if
he reminds him more of himself as a child – or his brother Prince Harry.

In the interview, the Duke described Prince George as "a little bit of a rascal" but admitted he had found fatherhood an "emotional" life changing experience.

The Duke teased that he wasn't sure whether he reminded him of himself as a baby or Prince Harry.

"He's a little bit of a rascal, I'll put it that way. He either reminds me of my brother or me when I was younger, I'm not sure, but he's doing very well at the moment," he told CNN.

Prince William also described his son as a "little fighter".

The newest member of the royal family isn't a fan of sleeping either, it appears.

"He kind of, he wriggles around quite a lot," he said. "And he doesn't want to go to sleep that much, which is a little bit of a problem."

The Duke admitted he does not get up in the night to see to the baby as much as Kate, adding that she is doing a "fantastic job".

The Duke also said fatherhood had changed him.

"I think the last few weeks for me have been just a very different emotional experience," he said.

"Something I never thought I would feel myself. And I find, again it's only been a short period, but a lot of things affect me differently now."

Asked about the moment he and Kate brought George out of St Mary's Hospital in Paddington, central London, for the first time, William said they were "happy to show him off to whoever wanted to see him".

"I think I was on such a high anyway," he said.

"As any new parent knows, you're only too happy to show off your new child and, you know, proclaim that he is the best-looking or the best everything.

"It's nice that people want to see George, so, you know, I'm just glad he wasn't screaming his head off the whole way through."

William said he was "terrified" he would mess up fixing the baby's car seat into the back of the vehicle in front of the world's press and admitted he had practised the manoeuvre.

He said: "I know there's been speculation about that. I had to practise, I really did. I was terrified that I was going to do some ... you know, it was going to fall off or it wasn't going to close properly.
